It doesn’t matter if you’re on the range, operating heavy machinery, mowing the lawn, or even trimming trees with a chainsaw—hearing protection is a must-have. My go-to hearing protection consists of earmuffs, specifically the AXIL MX II Pro muffs, and when it’s something simple, the X30i plugs are perfect for the job. If you combine the two together, there isn’t a noise they won’t cancel. In my mind, hearing protection is one of the most important things to have, no matter what loud activity you’re doing.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes the AXIL MX II Pro SE muffs some of the best earmuffs out there. First off, this Costco-exclusive bundle combines a basic earplug design with the enhancement of electronic hearing protection. Hearing protection is imperative when using machinery or performing tasks with loud spikes in noise. These muffs protect your hearing while amplifying important sounds at the same time. The MX II Pro SE muffs amplify voices and ambient sounds while automatically compressing dangerous sounds above 85 dB. One of the coolest features of these muffs is that the audio enhancement and hearing protection functions can be toggled on with the tap of a finger.
These hearing protection muffs are incredibly easy to use thanks to the toggle control and tap-touch controls. Simply tap either side of the muffs three times to activate Enhancement Mode. Then, increase the enhancement level by tapping the right muff or decrease it by tapping the left muff. It’s super easy to use and functions flawlessly. Enhancement Mode offers five levels of hearing boost. The electronic microphones selectively pass through and amplify safe sounds, allowing you to hear what you need while blocking harmful noise that could damage your eardrums.
If you’re like me and have a large lawn to maintain or spend long periods of time working on a tractor, the Bluetooth audio capabilities are a great feature. I never know when I’m going to get a phone call or when my wife will need me for another project. They hold a charge for a long time. I once accidentally left them on all night, and they still had enough battery the next day when I needed them. When it’s time to recharge, it’s quick and easy with the included USB-C charging cable.
The bundle includes:
- (1) MX II Pro SE Electronic Earmuff
- (1 pair) X30i Earplugs (1 left and 1 right)
- (1 pair) Bonus high-visibility MX II Pro SE Blaze Orange Plates
- (2 pairs) Foam ear tips (1 pair medium, 1 pair large)
- (3 pairs) Silicone ear tips (1 pair small, 1 pair medium, 1 pair large)
- (1) User manual
- (1) USB-C charging cable
So what makes the Costco bundle so special?
First, it combines the MX II Pro SE Muffs and the X30i Earplugs into one package for significant savings. It also includes a set of high-visibility MX II Plates in Blaze Orange. Not only do they look great and match my STIHL chainsaw, but they also add extra visibility so those around you can easily see what you’re doing. They also make the muffs much easier to find in a toolbox or on a workbench.
